Josh Henderson @ Teen Choice Awards 2007

Josh Henderson plays the bad-boy nephew of Edie Britt (Nicollette Sheridan) on Desperate Housewives but the 25-year-old singer/song writer first had his brush with fame during WB’s reality TV series Popstars 2 and the short-lived pop group Scene 23. Josh, 25, spoke with Just Jared on Sunday about an album in the works… and stuffed animals!

On if he’s still in touch with any of his former Scene 23 bandmates: “Dorothy is a good friend. Laurie a little bit but Dominique and Monique, I haven’t seen.”

On what his career’s been up to: “Still doing Desperate. then my music. I’ve been working at my music for the last three years. Trying to get a single on the radio before Christmas.”

On the best holiday gift he’s received: “This was a long time ago but Teddy Ruxpin. I got one of those [stuffed animals] and I flipped. I wish I had one today. You might be able to get them on eBay but yeah, Teddy Ruxpin was the coolest.”

On a favorite gift to give a girlfriend: “Anything that’s spontaneous and a little out there. Something that’s a little different. I like things that are not so generic. Flowers are always fun and all that stuff is great but they might expect that if you’re taking them on a first date. For special occasions, you should do something special, get something made, something a little different.”

On the best gift he’s given to parents: “I’ve taken my mom on vacation. hot hot hot summer and cold cold cold winters. I try to get her the coolest and newest massage chairs. She enjoys anything I give her.”
